Joey Northrup's one of the co-producers of Volume Wakeskates video. I think this clip is a pre-edit version of Montage 2 in Volume 4. The one that got in had Ross Gardner & Ian Reid's part as well.

sick switch stuff but i agree with oury.. should mix it up a little bit instead of all i/o stuff.. just my .02... sick video nonetheless switch kicky's and fs flips, damn.

sure its tech shlt but its also pretty sketchy, those guys are obviously going to be getting way better at those tricks, they shoulda waited and got better shots of their switch stuff that they had in v4, i bet if theyhave a part in volume 5 its gonna be way better, maybe some re entry stuff. and ourys right for sure, more rail and lip stuff.

back 180 to switch back 180 was sick

pretty funky style though, their inside out stuff seemed like they went really far out and not as much straight up

I'll go ahead and say it. Not to mean any offense.

There style in all the volumes to date is not the best. Its not what I want to watch in a video of that caliber. Ya, their cool guys and can do the tricks but the only reason they're in it is cause they helped edited it. I've had a few discusions with friends about this while watching and we always come to same conclusion.

Sorry for my rant, but I couldn't not post it. Shocked

all a bunch of haters. joey and grahm ride better than a lot of people who are getting paid and who think they are bad U see anyone else out there doing switch hardflips?

chillman, pretty much everyone said they were good riders.. but wakeskating isnt all about i/o switch fliptricks.. a lot of people wanna see some solid lines... people like video parts with good all around riding.. the longest line in the video was 2 tricks and they were both inside out. switch it up a little bit... mix up your riding.. some people on here would rather see a clean solid fs flip then a sketched out switch kicky.. there's a lot of different opinions on this forum that you just gotta accept.

chillman, Your right, they do loads of great things for wakeskating. But it looks like they fall off the board everytime they land something/anything. Sorry if I was a bit harsh.

Well Said, lake tarpon!!

if they rode with more style, and less butt checks, that wouldn't have been a lesson on how to make tech tricks look ugly...
